# Create a press releases section

 * I need a press release section in my WordPress based company website.
 * I’ve tried adding a loop for posts from one category, “press releases”, to the
   news.php custom page template, but it only shows the content for the custom page.
 * Is it possible to get posts from one category on a page? What code should I use
   for the loop?
 * And then I’d also have to exclude the press releases category from the regular
   blog… How would I do that?
 * Or is my approach all wrong? Isn’t there a plugin somewhere to create a slick
   press release section?
 * Has anyone done something like this?
 * EDIT:
 * This adds one category to a page:
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts('cat=20');
       if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       			<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
       				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
       				<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>
   
       				<div class="entry">
       					<?php	the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
       				</div>
       			</div>
   
       		<?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
   
 * Excluding the category from the regular blog loop:
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts("cat=-20");
       if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       ```
   
 * Is this the best way to do it? In wp-admin and elsewhere the press releases get
   mixed up with regular blog posts. A plugin that streamlines this would be nice…

 * Try filtering the list by category.
